A Time Of Danger.

Dyersburg Gazette: Another mad>
dog was killed GU the square yester.
day, but not until he had bitten sew.
eral other dogs and some hogs. This
thi lg is becoming horrible to contem>
plate, because eur authorities treat it
with such cool Indifference. Dogs
and horses aud cows in various parts
of the country have been inOculated
and 10 a condition to scatter hydro
phobia. Several men are reported to
have been bitten by mad dogs, and
nothing has been done to stay the
a pestilence more frightful than scar
let fever or cholera in its most ago
nizing form. There should be an Or
ganized effort to avert calamity thai
may bring death and destruction t.
home at any moment. We wish t.
emphasize the necessity of eur town
board and the county court taking
immediate action in this matter, with
out moments delay. They hav,
already waited too long. Let ever

1t is to be hoped that Newbern wi

are others who see IN movement OF this
character step towards the centraliza-
ton of power in the hands of the govern
ment which is distasteful to them and
which they will strenuously oppose. 1t
will soon be universally admitted
that successful competition is i'm
possible and that governmental
control is dangerous and contrary to the
genius of our republican institutions. A
compromise will doubtless be agreed
upon which will eventuate in legislation,
short of absolutism, but going far to-
wards regulating the business. Thus
the question will be brought prominently
into the politics of the country and will
be likely to remain a vexed question Tor
many years. There will be contest
between an omnipotent government on
the one hand and monopoly OF but
little less potency on the other. The
telegraph company will resist and fight
bitterly all interference and the people
through the government will naturally
force the fight, upon every display Of
resistance made. We may expect to
hear much OF this question for q while.

TIE TELEGRAPH PROBLEN

THE TELEGRAPH PROBLEM.
The ever recurring, never ending ru-
NOR concerning the consolidation of the
Western Union Telegraph Company with
its rival, the Baltimore and OHIO Tele-
graph Company, has lately received new
life, and IS most probably fact. Whether
it is q consolidation or an absorption can
not be ascertained. That the deal has
been Consummated and that both COM
panies will merge into one and be con-
trolled by one management is conceded
by those who claim TO know all about it..
Whether or not the change has actually
taken place matters little just now; all
prominent telegraph men agree that, while
it may be deferred, it cannot be de-
feated, and that the Consummation
is merely matter of time. The rumor
is certainly believed in some sections Of
the south, as is evidenced by the fact that
there is considerable talk of organizing
another competing company for the pur-
pose of resisting the expected encroach-
ments Of the great monopoly. The fate
Of all previous attempts in this direction
does not seem to have any effect on the
industry of organizing rivals, but it may
well be conceded that if the powerful
Baltimore and Ohio Company could not
successfully compete with the Western
Union, no other company need at
tempt it. The future history OF
the telegraph will be re-
cord Of the rise and fall of
struggling contestants. The hope of
successfully competing with the Western
Union seems to spring perennially. It
has never been done, and as time rolls
on and as the great absorbent gathers
strength and power the po7sibil-
ity Of any successful rival ris-
ing grows less and farther re-
moved. What then is to be the result?
The American people Will not tolerate
any sem5lsnce Of tyranny and are op-
posed to all monopolies. Just as soon as
the Western Union obtains full control
of the field hue and cry will
be raised against evils, real or
imaginary, which will bring the
telegraphic problem boldly to the front.
There are many who have long desired
that the government of the United States
should control this branch OF the public |
service, and among these are to be found
almost all the laboring elements. There

OFFICIAL DISHONESTY

Taking the reports from the current
literature of the day, it would appear that
there is perfect sRturnalia Of crime il
officials circles. From the east and west
from the north and south come the re.
ports Of bribery and corruption. by those
whose sworn duty it is TO make or execute
the laws Of the country. We have heard
of the "boodle" aldermen in New York,
Chicago and other cities; We have heard OF
legislators and officials of various charac-
ters being brought to account; we have
heard of the officers Of banks az others
being captured and eliminated until we
mey well ash seriously and with alarm
"where will this thing end?" Is it pos
sible that the citizens of this country
cannot select men to fill their public Off
ce5 who ere incorruptible? Is there any
thing in our system OF government which
IS debasing and debauching? Have the
offices Of public trust degenerated into 8
grab bag where each one catches what
he can' Well may the lovers OF free gov
ernment look with dismay upon the de-
velopments of the past six months. Such
practices cannot last; they sre subversive
of free government and, unless they
are eliminated, our form Of government
cannot exist. The disease of official dis
honesty is more widespread than 1t ap-
pears. True, great many sins are being
exposed, but the exposures justify the
belief that s great many more are IN
known and remain concealed. It appears
that offices are no longer regarded as
positions OF honor, but are Judged, sor-
Gidly, from the standpoint of revenue
that can be derived from them, Justly or
unjustly. The methods employed by
politicians ere calculated to breed
corruption and all manner of
viciousness. Pledges and promises in
Vulnerable have to be made in order
to secure an election and 1t is only when
these pledges are broken or, in other
words, "when thieves fall out, "that the
public learns of the conduct of It's officers.
The robberies committed by bank Off
cisls and the sale Of votes by aldermen
and legislators is calculated to cause
people to lose faith in our form of GOV
ernment. If the Offices are to be con-
verted into institutions of crime and rob-
berry, the days Of republicanism
are numbered in this country 1t
is q desperate state of affairs and
it will require heroic remedy. Punish
ment swift and certain should follow
each set brought home to an accused
and no maudlin sentiment
should interpose to prevent or soften the
severest retribution. The rascals have |
long preyed upon the country ana relied
upon the generous and humane feelings
Of juries for forgiveness. Such forgive
ness should not be extended. Let no
guilty man escape and let mis- punishment !
be the severest known to the law.

Hardeman News.


The Fort Worth GAZETTE has always
been esteemed valuable and purely
Democratic paper an over Western Texas,
and now ranks high in the respect of
press and people. But its "hldden
tracks" on the pending question is doing
1t no good. We would honor its opinion
on either side, because 1t is ably edited.
But until it tskes side, it must give
place to those other papers of Texas, in
Dallas, Waco, Galveston, Houston, etc,
who are giving state politics reasonable
attention. Fort Worth is a good local
subject for Fort Worth paper, but when
it has no other object in view outside OF
boosting Fort Worth, its influence dwin-
dies down 10 G local limit. We would
be very glad to see THE GAZETTE come
out plainly on one side or the other of
this issue.
